A novel diarylethene‐based iridium(III) complex was synthesized as a phosphorescence probe for monitoring living cells. The switchable phosphorescence complex in solution and within living cells was controlled by two distinguishable visible‐light irradiations, which suggests that this complex can be developed as a promising probe with weak photodamage for biological samples.
